That's why you tell them you have one that is cage aggressive and bites you EVERY time you open the tank! Don't tell them which one....they'll not mess with them! My son would take mine out. So, I laughed when the one I told him is mean bit him! Now he ONLY messes with his BP!
While it serves the purpose, if the people don't really understand snakes, it only spreads the "snakes are nasty, aggressive animals that will automatically try to kill you" stigma. So I don't recommend that XD
